fans been waiting every day since June 22nd to see Dariq Whitehead, the Nets first round pick step on the court. Now, while he’s not at Barclays Center yet, there is a light at the end of the tunnel in terms of Whitehead’s recovery process.
And the first glimpse of the 6’7”, 220 pound wing could come as early as next Friday night when the Long Island Nets open their season vs. Raptors905 at Nassau Coliseum.
This weekend, under the watchful eyes of both Long Island and Brooklyn Nets staff, Whitehead was practicing with few restrictions at the Yes We Cam Community Center in Westbury, NY.
